A bath-house the size of a small town, built when Rome sent eight thousand people a day to wash. The roofs are long gone; what stands is brick. Walls so tall the arches open onto nothing but sky, the colour of old terracotta in late light. Athletes once trained where the grass is now. Each July the ruins fill again, this time with opera; the same walls that held the steam carry a soprano. Best in the last hour before the gates close, when the brick goes orange and the crowds thin.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
